Today we want to wish all the leap year babies a happy birthday. I hope you all have a ton of fun and a great day!

Here’s some history about leap year.

The more I study the culture of animosity against Bible believing Christians in America and around the world, the more amazed I am at the intense persecution against Christians everywhere.

Almost daily I read about horrific acts of violence, murder, and sexual assault against Christians in foreign lands, and here in America I read about how Christians are slowly being silenced from expressing their biblical views in public.

However, what is really shocking is that Christians in America are now being attacked for praying in public places. Take this story at WorldNetDaily today called Prayer warriors at ‘gay’ fest on trial
Police told Christians they had no speech rights in public park.

Here’s one small part of the article…

At issue is the arrest of several Christians at a “gay pride” event is Wisner Park in Elmira in 2007. Julian and Gloria Raven and several others entered the park to pray silently for the participants of the event celebrating homosexual behavior.

…

However, an Elmira police sergeant had told the group they were banned from the park. They were not allowed to “cross the street, enter the park, or share their religion with anyone in the park,” according to the ADF.

The group’s members later were arrested and accused of “disorderly conduct.”

Okay, so let me get this straight. Christians praying were arrested for “disorderly conduct” and the participants at this gay pride parade were left alone.

I guess this is just more evidence of who persecutes who.

One of my all time favorite ministries and podcasts is Wallbuilders and Wallbuilders Live.

On Wednesday, February 27th and Thursday, February 28th 2008 Wallbuilders Live had guest David Parker on discussing how the elementary school in Massachusetts promoted the homosexual agenda to his 5 year old.

I can’t wait to see this new series that will begin airing this Saturday. Here’s the basic information about the series.

Speechless. . .Silencing the Christians is an original production of The Inspiration Networks in partnership with the American Family Association focusing on the loss of freedoms and liberties forced upon Christians by current attempts to pass hate crime legislation and other discriminatory measures and the movement to use “political correctness” to criminalize expression. The US Constitution guarantees freedom of speech and other basic liberties and the equal protection of those freedoms to all citizens, not only to select groups deemed to be “protected classes” by liberal causes.

Speechless. . .Silencing the Christians aims to highlight abuses against Christians and help to empower them to speak out to ensure the protection of their right to speak the Word. Renowned author and political commentator Janet Parshall hosts.

Let us, therefore, forsake the vanity of the crowd and their false teachings and turn back to the word delivered to us from the beginning, “watching unto prayer” and continuing steadfast in fasting, beseeching fervently the all-seeing God “to lead us not into temptation, even as the Lord said, “The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
